excuse me whilst i got for a w**k

see Brian Wilson at Glastonbury with his band two years ago....savage...

mind you, he playd after a stoming show by Van Morrison....

class...his band were brilliant

Yeah, spot on. Brian Wilson is probably the weakest member of the Brian Wilson band. They're absolutely excellent live, but, if you're in the mood for Kasabian or t'Arctic Monkeys, then 'Surfin' USA' isn't going to do much for you.

Im sorry but I dont understand this thread! Are people actually attempting to compare that glorified teen disco Oxysham to EP? Sure i'm a little jealous that Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, Muse and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are at Oxysham but come on! Having to listen to little girls screaming to the likes of Razors**te and the Kooks while being crushed against a barrier by a group of knackers and teenyboppers is something I am glad I will not endure this summer! They're two completely different festivals for two completely different strands of people! Oxysham is for shams, teenyboppers and what has been quoted in this thread already, Big sweaty sunburned country 'lads' who enjoy pissing on a tent because, due to the field-like surroundings, they are unable to understand that a world of music exists beyond the shelves of Golden Disks. EP is for people who like to ENJOY their music, get F*ked up and have a laugh with like minded people!

225 arrests!

EP:
.....

I actually tried to find stuff! nothing! I heard of one person getting arrested for jumping the fence but thats it!

Im not saying all of the people who regularly make trips to oxegen are knackers or teenyboppers, thats just the unfortunate cross they have to bear to go, what im saying is that the festivals are and always will be for two completely different types of people and thats how it should be left! not compared by music or vibe or anything!

Did someone say elitist snob?

I don't see how your thoughts on how EP attendees are just better people than those at
Oxegen are particularly relevant to a discussion on the bands playing at our 2 main music festivals.
Your insecurities and prejudices are probably best discussed elsewhere.

Hear, hear.

So, does anyone hear news of an Irish Pumpkins gig ? Anywhere ? Anytime ?

Nouvelle Vague, Duke Special and Scott Matthews added to EP.

Don't all piss yourselves at once, now.

Nouvelle Vague ? Surely their 15 minutes is up by now ?

Seen them in Spain. You're better off if it doesn't happen.

Pumpkins time it would seem has come and gone...

Comeback without new album of new material...sloppy live shows....damaging legacy.,...see pixies two years ago...jaysus....

didnt think much of Zwan or the solo projects either.....

Ummm, comeback without a new album??

Zeitgeist is out in July. The single, Tarantula, is even on my local's jukebox, much to my excitement, and to the disgruntlement of the old men who frequent the place on a monday night!

And I've said it before and I'll say it again... I liked Zwan.

Fair enough Garret, didnt know there was an album coming out.....

anyone heard any material off it? is it any good? different?

i bought the zwan album and was dissappointed big style....i have to say i always thought more of the pumkins than pixies and Corgan is one of the good guys.....

The single:
